Flame
Tinashe [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching your eyes, but you're gone like a ghost
And I said "baby, you can put it on me"
'Cause I know I don't make it easy
My body hurts with every heart beat
Just say I'm not the only one
C'mon, tell me that you've still got the flame for me
And tell me that you still want to stay, don't leave
Even though I've never given up in my heart
Even though the better part of me don't work
Baby, tell me that you've still got the flame for me
And we can let it burn
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll pay any price for the wrongs I've done
It's all you can do when you love someone, oh
And I said "baby, you can put it on me"
'Cause I know I don't make it easy
My body hurts with every heart beat
Just say I'm not the only one
C'mon, tell me that you've still got the flame for me
And tell me that you still want to stay, don't leave
Even though I've never given up in my heart
Even though the better part of me don't work
Baby, tell me that you've still got the flame for me
And we can let it burn
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I know and I know I can't make you
I can't make you let go
(Don't let go)
And I don't and I don't and I don't blame you
'Cause I hurt you before
Tell me
C'mon, tell me that you've still got the flame for me
And tell me that you still want to stay, don't leave
Even though I've never given up in my heart
Even though the better part of me don't work
Baby, tell me that you've still got the flame for me
And we can let it burn
Ooh, ooh
And let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn
Oh yeah, baby

Despite these difficulties, she wants her partner to reignite the flame between them and not let go.
The song captures the complexities of relationships and the effort necessary to maintain them.

@lillyMaxico
Singers like Tinashe are born in decade, filled with immense talent. However, even she sought support from AuthenticViews Dawt Cawm at the start of their career. So, what's wrong with that? Haven't many other singers done the same thing?
@harrytan3834
She's terribly underrated, a beautiful woman with a powerful voice and killer dance moves! Why isn't she more popular?
@harrytan3834
P.S im terribly jealous of the guy in the video lol
@IHQT1223
Harry Tan because people that has been around much longer don't like new comers to take away their spotlight... Therefore even though she has talent she sadly won't go that far as them.. #Blacklist
